<p>At my CSU I earned several B+ or A- grades. My counselor told me that since I transfered to my community college the A- will become a B and the B+ will just be a B because of the grading system at my school (only grades of A, B, C, D or F are given out, no B+ or A- kind of things). So when calculating my UC gpa, the + or - grades won't matter? Does anyone have any experience with something like this? I'm very doubtful about the things my counselor tells me so I wanted to see if anyone on here had an experience like this. Thanks!</p>
<p>All the UCs use the +/- system… in fact I’ve never even heard of a college that doesn’t. A B+ is considered a 3.3 and an A- is considered a 3.7 by UCs.</p>
<p>When you apply to the UCs, you will report the grades under your CSU and they will still be +/-. The app asks you to list your grades as you see them on your transcript.</p>
<p>@bruingirl01, are you sure about this? Maybe you have experience with it yourself?</p>
<p>I’m sure about reporting grades as is on the application, and I’ve been to a university where the grading scale is from 0.0 to 4.0. I reported the grades just like that, and the adcoms took care of translating them from there on.</p>
<p>Yeah. I agree with @rikizle & bruingirl01. Just state them the way they appear on your transcript and I’m sure the Adcoms will translate them.</p>
<p>I think this is a fair interpretation of the 4.0 scale.</p>
<p>A 4.0
a- 3.7
b+ 3.3
b 3.0
b- 2.7
c+ 2.3
c 2.0
c- 1.7
d+ 1.3
d 1.0
d- 0.7
f 0.0</p>
<p>My JC doesn’t have a + or - minus system.</p>
